ORCHARD PARK – The Bills may have an interesting situation on special teams this weekend. Long snapper Garrison Sanborn suffered a knee injury and was limited in practice Wednesday.

The team auditioned two potential replacements for Sunday's game against Minnesota if Sanborn can't play.

"We protected ourselves," said coach Doug Marrone. "We brought in two guys today to work out. Our expectation is that we expect him to be in there, but again we just have to cover ourselves and we had two guys in today."

Elsewhere on the injury front, three players did not work at all. Special teamer Marcus Easley (knee), linebacker Ty Powell (ankle) and defensive tackle Marcell Dareus.

Marrone explained that Dareus was excused from practice to attend to a family matter, though he did not elaborate.

"I knew about it last week," said Marrone. "He had something come up that was personal for him, so I excused him. It's nothing related to anything that has to do with him. It's family."

Marrone said Williams is bothered more by his neck than his wrist. He sat out last week's game, and it seems possible that may happen again Sunday.

Bills vs. Vikings

Only club seats are available for the Minnesota game, meaning it will be shown on local television (Fox channel 7). Former broadcaster Van Miller will be inducted into the Bills' Wall of Fame during a halftime ceremony.
